European customers can now begin using Biograph mMR for routine clinical applications. Biograph mMR is a fully integrated whole-body PET/MR system with simultaneous MR and PET data acquisition.
The system uses a 3-tesla MRI scanner and PET component, and has already been installed at a number of customer sites for clinical research, including University Hospital Klinikum rechts der Isar of the Munich Technical University, Eberhard Karls University Tübingen in Germany, and Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, the company said.
Siemens expects Biograph mMR will prove to be valuable in the identification of neurological, oncological, and cardiac conditions, and in supporting therapy planning.
